I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Bing San could not wait to perform himself. He instantly walked over and announced the appointment of the man as an Oni.

However, this agitated the group even more.

An old woman walked forward and said with a trembling voice, “Twenty years and he was unable to get a turn to reincarnate. He’s been bathing in the Styx accompanied by other ghosts. What am I going to do after death?”

“Yeah, is the Underworld even good enough for us to live in?”

“Even a good ghost would turn insane!”

“I can’t afford to die!”

Apart from the ordinary people, even the cultivators were scared. After all, everyone would eventually die.

Bing San bit the bullet and said, “Everyone, rest assured. The Underworld’s taking corresponding measures. It won’t take long before the dying procedure’s complete. By then, reincarnating would take less time and the ghost’s area would’ve increased. The ghosts will be directed to their rightful places, not just the Styx.”

With that, he looked at the male ghost and said, “Hurry up and bid your wife goodbye. The longer you stay with her, the more you’re hurting her. We should go.”

It did not take long before Bing San went back to them.

Li Nianfan was still concerned. “Mr. Bing, there…there’s actually a queue for reincarnation?”

He could tell that the Underworld of the Immortal Realm was very stingy. It was like a coded program. After death, the soul would instantly be transferred to the Styx. Regardless if it was a human or a demon, good or bad, they would all bath in the Styx and then queue up for reincarnation.

The Styx was undoubtedly the phantom of the bloody sea. The thought of bathing in there after death was such a chilling thought!

Now that the Xia Kingdom was in a war with the Land of Southern Barbarians, the number of deaths was extremely high. Who knew how long the queue would be?

Furthermore, when the plague arrived, like other natural disasters, the number of deaths would increase.

Initially, waiting in the queue was not a big deal. The key point was that one had to wait inside the Styx. It was a big mixed pot of everything, how terrifying!

Would the ghosts not be cruel? Would they not run away?

Bing San said hopelessly, “To be honest with you, the Underworld isn’t doing so well. This is our current situation.”

‘Your situation is bad but we’re the one suffering,’ Li Nianfan thought as he pursed his lips. “You mentioned taking some measurements. Is that true?”

Bing San did not dare to hide it from him. He smiled bitterly and said, “This is…not true for now.”

Huh?

Li Nianfan was terrified. If he died and his soul belonged to the Underworld, he would have to bathe in the Styx?

He could only half-beg and ask, “Does the Underworld have something like a Reborn Curse?”

Bing San slightly halted. “Reborn Curse? What’s that? What for?”

Li Nianfan explained, “It’s a small way to eliminate karma and return the soul back to the pure land.”

Bing San shook his head honestly and answered, “No.”

Li Nianfan frowned. This Underworld was not doing well. They had nothing. Once a person died, he would end up being punished.

He thought the Underworld had something like the Reborn Curse to calm the souls down so that everyone could live in peace. Even if they bathed together, it was still acceptable. This was not asking for too much.

Seeing that Bing San did not speak, Ziye was scoffing at how stupid this person was to herself.

The expert was already making it so clear. Did he still not get it? Was he a pig?

Look, the expert even frowned! Did he want the expert to take the initiative and offer him the opportunity?

She took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Li, what’s the Reborn Curse you mentioned about? Is there really such a thing?”

Li Nianfan waved it off and said, “Yeah, there is, but it’s just a curse. It’s nothing valuable. I guess it’s probably unimportant.”

Ziye continued, “I’m really curious. Could you tell us more about it, Mr. Li?”

Bing San finally snapped back to reality. How he wished he could slap himself hard.

How foolish was he! He almost missed the Reborn Curse!

It could…eliminate karma and return the souls back to the pure land.

Was there really such a thing in the world?

“Of course,” Li Nianfan nodded. He halted before he said, “This thing’s hard to comprehend. I’ll write it down.”

Ziye pointed with her finger. Instantly, a table appeared in the air. She smiled and said, “Thank you, Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan picked up a brush, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, “This thing…don’t take it too seriously.”

He was rather embarrassed. He felt like a hoax himself. Most importantly, the Reborn Curse did not sound like something a normal person would say. It might even ruin his reputation and image in front of the others.

However, it was too late to pull back.

He could only try to make the words look nice to make up for the lack of substance.

His brush landed on the paper.

‘Nanwu Amiduopoye. Dota Gadoya. Duo Di Ye He…’

The Reborn Curse was not long. It consisted of less than 100 words. As Li Nianfan said, it was difficult to comprehend. One would not understand it normally.

However, as Li Nianfan’s brush landed on the paper, everyone’s faces changed. They all stared at the paper without blinking, their eyes glowing in gold.

The golden glow did not come from their eyes. They were merely reflecting the glow of the paper.

Li Nianfan was using black ink to write, but every word was written in gold. The characters were very eye-catching and sacred.

This golden glow shone onto them, giving off a wave of peacefulness coming from within. As for Onis like Bing San, they were even more affected. Their brains had gone blank. The karma of their past was repenting in their heads over and over again. Their obsessive thoughts were gradually soothed, sending peace back into their hearts.

Compared to living humans, the ghosts were more terrified of obsessive thoughts.

The more Li Nianfan wrote, the higher the golden glow rushed up into the sky, shining over them.

In that instance, all of the swimming ghosts around them, including those powerful and cruel ghosts, knelt on their knees facing the golden glow. They had the look of repentance on their faces.

They were no longer escaping. Instead, they were all genuinely repenting. The impatience and cruelty within them were instantly cleansed. They obediently returned to the door, ready to go back to the Underworld to silently wait for their reincarnation.

“Alright.”

Li Nianfan stopped writing. Seeing that the crowd was staring at the curse blankly, he touched his nose and said, “I know this curse isn’t that significant. I simply wrote it. Just have a look at it and don’t take it too seriously.”

Simply wrote it?

Nothing significant?

‘Expert, you being so humble is doing us great harm!’

Onis like Bing San were trembling. They did not even dare to breathe.

They stared at the paper, wishing they could reach out with their eyes to have more than just a look.

As the Onis, they could feel that this paper was the most precious treasure to the ghosts! It had an immeasurable effect!

It was already a precious treasure when he simply wrote it. If he wrote it seriously, how great would that be? They did not dare to imagine it!

Moments ago, they did not understand why. However, they could finally grasp how powerful the expert was—the expert that the Immortals like Ziye were trying to please. Even by the look of this writing, he would be the most precious guest of the entire Underworld!

An expert! A true expert!

Bing San gulped. He asked with deep uneasiness and excitement, “Mr. Li, could you please give this to me?”

In the past, he would not dare to ask for it at all. However, in such an extraordinary time, he had to bite the bullet and ask.

With that said, he felt his heart tighten. He did not dare to meet Li Nianfan’s eyes. The seconds of waiting for his reply felt like years.

Li Nianfan saw that Bing San was staring at his paper as if he had lost his soul. He could not help smiling in shock. “Mr. Bing likes writing?”

Bing San nodded hastily. He smiled apologetically as he said, “Yes, since young.”

Li Nianfan was delighted. He said, “If you like it, have it.”

This man must have been a cultivated man when he was alive.

Being an Oni was probably a role one would take on after death. If he liked writing back then, he must like it now, too. As expected, having a skill was a good thing everywhere. He made yet another acquaintance.

Perhaps when he had to bathe in the Styx in the future, someone would look after him.

“Thank you, Mr. Li.”

Bing San was very delighted. He held the paper with trembling hands.

Cautiously and extremely carefully, he kept the paper close to himself.

Bing San knew that this was a big matter. He did not dare to waste any more time. With an apologetic tone, he said, “Everyone, now that the Underworld’s chaotic, we have a shortage of manpower. Since the problem’s fixed here, I must return to continue my duty. Please, forgive me.”

Li Nianfan and the rest understood the urgency of the matter. He said, “Go settle your things. Goodbye.”

“Thank you for everyone’s help today, I’ll report back to my superior. Everyone here will be guests of the Underworld from now on!”

Bing San bowed at the crowd sincerely. He then instructed the other Onis to finish up and rushed back to the Underworld as fast as he could.
